    When Backspacer came out, was there a severe backlash here against Johnny Guitar? I've always thought that song represented a PJ lyrical and songwriting low, and seeing these lists it appears many of you do as well.

    Johnny Guitar is quite possibly my least favorite song they've released on the 10 studio albums.

    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Some of these songs are really hard to compare to each other... like Why Go vs. In My Tree... two totally different sounds. #'s 2-6 are basically tied..
